After staring at you invitingly from a bowl on your table as a wholesome breakfast on a nice juicy blue-skied morning, the oatmeal is now about to hop into the bath with you. Oatmeal soap helps your skin in many ways than other chemical-based soaps. It has various health benefits such as clearing the skin of dead cells by way of gentle exfoliation.

For Dry Skin and Oily Skin

With your skin facing the wrath of long hours in the sun, pollutants from air and the city, it tends to build in impurities making it go terribly dry and losing it's natural luster. Oatmeal restores the skin naturally, replacing its pH balance and moisturizing it with the healthy fats it contains. It doesn't dry the skin out like other products containing chemicals. It has polysaccharides that protect the skin from getting dull and flaky.

Chemicals in other soaps tend to dry out skin so horribly that you run around frantically to apply moisturizers. This natural soap saves your time and money with the aftermath, rather after bath effects of your skin drying out or so, as it keeps the pH balance of your skin most appropriately in check. If your skin is very dry, though, use the soap with combinations of olive oil, shea butter, avocado, or honey, which soothe your parched skin and make it look a lot more lustrous and healthier.

For oily skin, this product is a natural absorbent; and, especially when it is combined with ingredients like aloe vera gel and sea salts to make an effective scrub, and get rid of the excess oils and dead cells that are formed due to overly active sebaceous glands in the skin.

Prevents Acne

As this soap gently exfoliates your skin, it has polyphenols that prevent acne. People who were so horribly pained with cystic acne have said that the oat soap helped them tremendously and gave them a healthier skin.

Alleviates Skin Infections

This product is also known for relieving itching, inflammation, chickenpox, and dermatoses. It especially soothes itching from poison oak, poison ivy, poison sumac, rashes, and insect bites.

Treats Shingles Symptoms

The viral illness of shingles affects the nerves and causes a lot of pain. It isn't the most pleasant sight usually. Using this soap naturally alleviate the symptoms of shingles by way of dealing with the pain and the terrible itching. Shingles often manifests only on one side of the body, as the nerves of those side are affected. The patient may suffer from flu-like symptoms that last for several weeks before the blisters break open before healing. Colloidal oatmeal bath is great for shingles, as it has the perfect texture as well as antihistamine properties to soothe skin. The soap helps by treating the exterior of the skin and alleviates a lot of discomfort.

Oatmeal soothes the skin from sunburn or if you've just been outside facing harsh weather. Using this soap in the bath is the best way to relax after a long hard day to forget every hovering trouble. And, when you soak in the wrap of its healthful bliss, you know that your skin can forget every worried wrinkle, sore sunburn, or angry acne. So, let your skin feel its oats!
